KafkaListManyTopics

Retrieves information about all topics from a Kafka broker. This function lists all of the topics defined in the Kafka cluster as well the number of partitions it contains and which brokers serve the topic.

Syntax

KafkaListManyTopics('broker:port[;...]'
                    [USING PARAMETERS
                        [kafka_conf='kafka_configuration_setting'
                        [, timeout=timeout_sec]])

broker

The hostname (or ip address) of a broker in the Kafka cluster

port

The port number on which the broker is running.

kafka_conf

A JSON string of property/value pairs to pass directly to the rdkafka, the library that Vertica uses to communicate with Kafka. This parameter directly sets global configuration properties that are not available through the Vertica integration with Kafka.

For details, see Directly setting Kafka library options.

kafka_conf_secret

Conceals sensitive configuration data that you must pass directly to the rdkafka library, such as passwords. This parameter accepts settings in the same format as kafka_conf.

Values passed to this parameter are not logged or stored in system tables.

timeout

Integer number of seconds to wait for a response from the Kafka cluster.
